1 DeTar, CarletonB̄→D*ℓν̄ form factor at zero recoil from three-flavor lattice QCD: a model independent determination of [Vcb]We present the first lattice QCD calculation of the form factor for B→ D* lv with three flavors of sea quarks. We use an improved staggered action for the light valence and sea quarks (the MILC configurations), and the Fermilab action for the heavy quarks.

2 DeTar, CarletonContinuum limit in the quenched approximationPrevious work at G/g2 = 5.7 with quenched staggered quarks is extended with new calculations at 5.85 and 6.15 on lattices up to 323 x 64.

We discuss h...Decay constants; Staggered quarks; Wilson quarks1996-03
3 DeTar, CarletonContinuum limit of lattice QCD with staggered quarks in the quenched approximation: a critical role for the chiral extrapolationWe calculate the light quark spectrum of lattice QCD in the quenched approximation using staggered quarks. We take the light quark mass, infinite volume, continuum limit.
